Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
On Karmic, the battery monitor on the system tray says "Laptop battery is fully charged" all the time. However, when I click it, the drop-down entry would state the right battery charged percentage.
Also, even when my system is set to hibernate when the charge is critically low, it just shuts down when the battery charge runs out. Is this a connected issue or do I have to report another bug?

Hmm. Any fix? If not, any quick workaround? :)
Btw, the system recognizes that the battery is critical low. I'm using the default Ubuntu setting that only shows the battery icon when charging/ discharging. This shows the icon when the battery is critically low, but it shows a fully charged battery icon.
